The food truck craze continues in LA. After my initial experience at Kogi, I’ve been looking for opportunities to try more. The Frysmith truck has piqued my curiosity ever since I read about it last August. But their delays in opening, as well as a schedule which has them mostly in LA, kept us apart.
I had hoped to visit Frysmith and other trucks at the first annual LA Street Food Festival. But so did thousands of other people. I got there a few minutes early only to find lines wrapping for blocks. I gave up and later learned that some people waited hours, only to be turned away as vendors ran out of food.
Saturday presented a window of opportunity for me and Frysmith to come together, and I seized it. They were going to be at the Museum of Natural History at lunch, and I was slated to be in Hollywood at 2. So I got there around 11:40. Though they published hours from 11:30 – 3, they were not yet open and I was parked at a meter. I even debated leaving after waiting about 15 minutes.
Am I ever glad I didn’t! I was second in line when they opened, and ordered the Kimchi Fries – golden friend potatoes, topped with kimchi, kurobata pork belly, green onions and cheddar cheese. The combination was amazing, and the portion a decent one. I quickly scarfed them down but enjoyed every delectable minute.

On my new favorite show on the Food Network (The Best Thing I Ever Ate)someone chose the Korean short rib tacos from the Kogi Taco Truck. Glad to hear you had such a great experience with this one.
